There are certain individuals throughout puppet history whose
work and influence create an indelible impact on the art form. One
such person is our guest this week: Bart Roccoberton. Bart is the
director of the Puppet Arts program at the University of
Connecticut, founder of the Eugene O'Neill Theater Center's
Institute of Professional Puppetry Arts and National Puppetry
Conference, and helms his own company Pandemonium Puppets.
Listen in as we hear Bart's story, from his early days as a
traveling rock musician to forming an educational philosophy during
his tenure at UCONN. You'll also learn about some of the puppetry
giants on whose shoulders Bart stands on, including Margo Rose,
Albrecht Roser, Allelu Kurten, and Jim Henson. PLUS: we learn the
key secret-ingredient in Roccoberton putty!
